Hi lovely ladies.

I'm out for Feb as AF showed up, I want to start using ovulation sticks for this next cycle.

What brands do you use and where do you get them from? (I'm in the UK).

Also any advice will be gratefully received.

Really easy, I used early evening urine, then kept track of them on an app called Glow.

@bostonfern are they easy to use? Do you do it just in the morning with fmu?

Each day about CD7 and then for a few days after getting a positive.

I'm irregular too. I go from cycles lasting 29-39 days. Although I haven't had a bfp yet . But I think they r clear. Good luck

I usually start testing about 4-5 after af. I test every day until I hit peak. The clear blue are a bit more expensive but I find them worth it. There will be a circle is your are not fertile. A flashing smiley face means that u are highly fertile ( but keep testing every day) eventually u will get a non flashing smiley which means that u will ovulate within the next 24-36 hours . Xx
